FAQ
How do I calculate my life path number?
Reduce your birth month, day and full year each to a single digit (or a master number 11/22/33), add the three results together, then reduce once more. For example, 14 May 1990 → month 5, day 14→5, year 1990→19→1; 5+5+1=11, a master number. The calculator above does this instantly.
What are master numbers?
11, 22 and 33 are 'master numbers' that aren't reduced to a single digit. They carry the traits of their base number (2, 4, 6) amplified, with greater potential and greater challenge.
